When Borderlands first hit the scene back in 2009, it didn’t just create a new subgenre, it coined the very term “looter shooter.” It was brash, chaotic, and dripping with personality. But over time, that formula started to feel bloated. Borderlands 3 in particular leaned so hard into meme humor and over-the-top antics that it unfortunately turned off plenty of … Read More

Bloober Team are no strangers to the world of horror games, having released numerous spooky titles over the past 10 years or so. Then just mere months after releasing last year’s amazing Silent Hill 2 Remake, they revealed they had another horror game, a brand new IP in the works. That instantly got me interested. Cronos: The New Dawn wears … Read More

When I first heard about Discounty, I honestly thought it sounded like one of those quirky indie sims you play for a weekend, smile at the charm, and move on. But after a couple dozen hours on the Switch 2, I’ve found myself completely hooked on this little management sim about running a discount convenience store. It’s cozy, it’s addictive, … Read More

When I first saw Lost Soul Aside nearly a decade ago, it was the definition of a dream project. One man, Yang Bing, had put together a trailer that looked like something out of Final Fantasy Versus XIII, a game I was personally obsessed with and heartbroken never came to fruition. That stylish action, that moody tone, that blend of … Read More

Now, thanks to PQube and a full remaster for the Nintendo Switch, the game has finally landed in the West, … Read More

When Nintendo announced Kirby and the Forgotten Land + Star-Crossed World as a launch window title for the Switch 2, I wasn’t sure what to expect. On paper, it’s a re-release of 2022’s Kirby and the Forgotten Land bundled with new, Switch 2 exclusive DLC called Star-Crossed World. You can either buy the whole package fresh for Switch 2, or, … Read More

I’ll be honest I never thought I’d be writing about a new Metal Gear Solid game again, at least not an entry that has anything to do with the mainline games. When Hideo Kojima split from Konami, I, along with most, assumed the series was finished for good, frozen in time with The Phantom Pain. As a lifelong fan who … Read More

Growing up, I spent countless hours with Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre, falling in love with the mix of layered strategy, memorable characters, and political drama. Those games had a way of making every battle feel important, every choice meaningful. But somewhere along the line, these kinds of games became rarer, overshadowed by other genres. When Triangle Strategy first launched on Switch back in … Read More

Tookyo Games are relentless. Since their formation in 2020, they’ve been putting out games at a breakneck pace, each one bold in concept and distinct in presentation. Earlier this year, they released The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy, a game that already felt ambitious in scope. And now, before that one even has time to breathe, they’ve teamed up with … Read More

Despite loving the concept, I have to admit, farming games have been a gaming genre that I’ve dabbled in, but never really invested the time into, even though the Story of Seasons series has been on my radar numerous times. So when Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar was announced for the Nintendo Switch, I was immediately curious. I never played … Read More
